BAY MINETTE, Ala. — Two years before she died, 19-year-old Cristina Hadley became an organ donor. According to her mom, it was the natural extension of her giving nature.

"She would've given a kidney if somebody had needed it," Monica Chambless said.

Turns out, she gave them both.

Hadley, who spent several years in Bay Minette as a child, died right before Christmas in 2010; hit by a car and thrown 85 feet as she and her younger brother, Matthew, walked along a road south of Baton Rouge, La.
